Greekoz Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 This team hasnt gelled well sadly. Poorly coached as well. The US havent been impressive but our level is nowhere near the level it takes to beat them. The czecks wont beat Brazil.
Antaeus7 Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 Let's just say Greece defeats USA, USA defeats Brazil, both Brazil and Greece defeat Czech Republic. On head-to-head, each team would have 9 points, which two would qualify?

On head-to-head, each team would have 9 points, which two would qualify? It goes to points differential I think. So we beat Montenegro by 25, lost to Brazil by 1, beat NZ by 6...that makes us +30 currently, in the event of us and Brazil finishing on the same wins then it would come into play, ideally you would have preferred to best NZ by more than 6. As it stands our points differential is better then Brazil I think.
Brklyngrk Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 Based on current point differential, we are up by 10 (30 to 20). US has 75 point difference. If the scenario discussed, in all likelihood, we would go through but again, we need to beat the US.
Antaeus7 Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 (edited) Correct, if both Brazil and USA win, they will go through and both Greece and Czech Republic will be eliminated. So far in the second round, no 1-loss team has defeated the team who are undefeated. Poland, Spain, Argentina, and Serbia all qualified for the quarterfinals. Edited September 6, 2019 by Molon Lave
Greekoz Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 Brazil lost to the Czechs, so we are still alive if we lose to the US...most likely now it comes down to us against the Czecks
SydneyPAOK Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 Yes provided we beat the Czechs by more points than what we lose to the USA. Our F-A is currently 30pts compared to Czechs 29pts.

Our F-A is currently 30pts compared to Czechs 29pts. We can’t afford to lose by more than 10 I think...a more narrow win for Czecks would have been ideal.
Antaeus7 Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 Wow, those Czechs are not to be taken lightly. They destroyed Brazil!
Greekoz Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 Why are they saying on the Greek news the czeks are +12 ahead of us?
SydneyPAOK Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 Dunno. Fiba website shows us on 30pts and Czechs on 29pts which has been updated after they beat the Brazilians
Greekoz Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 Our shooting is disgraceful, 26% seriously we won’t even be going to the Olympics at this rate. Giannis has passed so many open looks and we have missed everything.
tkarachr606 Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 Honestly I don't think the coaching has been bad. They are holding the USA defensively quite well and the 3 point shots the team is missing are wide open looks. Whats really a tragedy is this tournement was set up for them to medal and they are doing everything in their power to blow it. 1
paokara777 Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 why do the Aussie commentators keep saying that Greece are out if they lose this? Is that the case?
Greekoz Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 We need to beat the Czecks by 13 or more. Absolutely no chance the way we are shooting the ball
paokara777 Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 ok cool. THey are saying we are now eliminated

THey are saying we are now eliminated No we aren’t eliminated, the commentators mentioned late in the game we have to win by 13 or more. USA will definately beat Brazil. I can’t see us winning let alone by that score. That was our worst shooting percentage performance since 1998! Brick after brick on so many open looks. Edited September 7, 2019 by Greekoz
tkarachr606 Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 I don't get the 13 or more if it is based on point differential. Greece would be at 14 right now and Czechs at 29. Greece wins by 8 then Greece would be at 22 and Czechs at 21. Am I missing something?
SydneyPAOK Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 We need to beat the Czechs by 16pts. Czech FA is 29pts and Greece's is now 14
tkarachr606 Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 (edited) We play the czechs. They have 29 right now but if they lose by 8 to Greece... they also would take the subtraction to their differential as well wouldn't they? Edited September 7, 2019 by tkarachr606
SydneyPAOK Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 Ahhhh yes you are correct. 8pts it is. That's doable if we bring our A-game
paokara777 Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 yeah we can beat the czechs by 8, we cant shoot that low % again surely

Russia beat us 60-48 in the second round of that game. Russia didn't shot the ball well, yet Greece can't take advantage.
